Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. Police were serving a search warrant looking for an individual other than our Client. Although the person the police were looking for was not present in our Client's house, the police did allegedly recovered 52 bags of narcotics totaling over 10 grams. We set our Client's case for trial. While previewing our case to the prosecution prior to trial, they saw the stregnth of our position. Instead of proceeding to trial, the prosecution dismissed the case!

People v. MP
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police allegedly saw our Client urinating in public and approached to investigate. The Officer claimed that he needed to pat our Client down for officer safety reasons, and asked our Client if he had any weapons on his person. It was at this point that our Client supposedly said "I don't have any weapons, but I do have some 'molly' in my pocket." The Officer then went into our Client's pocket and recovered MDMA. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing including the urinating in public ticket.
People v. LS
Our Client was charged with Felony Residential Burglary (a non-probationable offense). Our Client was allegedly caught red handed burglarizing his neighbor's house when his neighbor came home. Our Client's neighbor immediately called the Police and identified our Client as the person who burglarized his house. Although the charged offense is usually non-probationable, we successfully convinced the Judge to offer our Client a special type of probation that includes drug treatment. If our Client successfully completes every aspect of the probation, there will be no conviction on his record.

Client was charged with Felony Possession of Less than 15 Grams of a Controlled Substance and Felony Possession of 30 - 500 grams of Cannabis. The Police claim that our Client was standing in front of a known narcotics "hot spot." The Officer testified that he decided to approach our Client for no reason...just because of where he was standing. Our Client then allegedly dropped 16 bags of narcotics right in front of the officer and then fled into the residence. The Officer gave chase and claims to have found our Client in a bathroom attempting to flush 15 bags of cannabis down the toilet.

People v. DG
Our Client was charged with DUI. Police claim that they responded to a call of a person asleep at the wheel, facing the wrong way, in oncoming traffic. When they arrived at the scene, Officers claim that our Client was unable to say away, smelled strongly of alcohol and had open alcohol inside his vehicle. At the police station our Client allegedly failed the standardized field sobriety tests which were administered, and he refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. By refusing to submit to the breathalyzer test, our Client's license was automatically, summarily suspended by the Secretary of State. We filed a Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension. On the hearing date, the prosecution agreed to rescind the suspension and offer our Client supervision. Not only was our Client able to avoid a conviction on his record, he was able to begin driving immediately after court!
